Log Tools

The Logtools package contains a number of programs for managing log files (mainly for web servers).

clfmerge will merge a number of Common Logfile Format web log files into a single file while also re-ordering them in a sliding window to cope with web servers that generate log entries with the start-time of the request and write them in order of completion.

logprn operates like tail -f but will (after a specified period of inactivity) spawn a process and write the new data in the log file
to it’s standard input.

clfsplit will split up a single CLF format web log into a number of files based on the client’s IP address.

funnel will write it’s standard-input to a number of files or processes.
